Wal-Mart is facing one of the largest class action lawsuits involving sexual discrimination of female employees. The class action lawsuit was originally filed in 2001 on behalf of female employees who claim they have been victims of harassment based on their gender.

The class action lawsuit alleges Wal-Mart provides men and women unequal employment opportunities. The women say they have been promoted less often and given fewer opportunities than male employees. The class action lawsuit against Wal-Mart includes females that work in the Wal-Mart discount stores, super centers, neighborhood stores and Sam’s Club.

Women who feel they have been discriminated against based on their gender may be entitled to compensation. If you feel you’ve been discriminated against based on your gender and would like to speak with an experienced attorney to find out more about your legal rights, contact us today.

Wal-Mart Sexual Discrimination Lawsuit

Since the class action lawsuit was originally filed in 2001, Wal-Mart has argued that it is too big too defend. In fact, the retail giant has requested individual lawsuits be filed on behalf of the plaintiffs, not a class action. Some 1.5 million women are now involved. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently disagree with the retail giant, and ruled that the sexual discrimination class action suit against Wal-Mart can go to trial. This will be the largest civil rights action suit in U.S. history.

According to reports, six women who worked for Wal-Mart will represent every woman who has ever worked at a Wal-Mart store. This will include more than 1.5 million women. Not every woman will be eligible to collect compensation should the class win.

Wal-Mart Stores and Discrimination of Women

According to the class action lawsuit, women employees have been discriminated against based on their gender. Specifically, the suit states female employees:

• Are paid less
• Received fewer promotions

The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensation to cover punitive damages and loss pay.

Wal-Mart Stores and Discrimination Against Immigrants

In addition to sex discrimination, Wal-Mart faces lawsuits dealing with other forms of discrimination as well. In fact, the New York Times reported that a group of ten West African men filed a complaint against Wal-Mart. The men reportedly said they had been fired because Wal-Mart wanted to free up their jobs for local people in need of work.
